    abstract =  {Reliability is a fundamental concern for the network. As a solution to improve network stability, the non-stop forwarding paradigm depends on protocol recovery based on graceful restart techniques. One of the proposed graceful restart techniques for {[}OSPF{]}, a widely deployed IGP, is described in {[}OSPF-GR{]}. This technique has a limitation of not being backward compatible, in the sense that if a neighbor does not support the helper mode described in {[}OSPF-GR{]}, the graceful-restart procedure will fail (i.e., revert to normal restart). For large multi-vendor networks, this scenario is fairly common. In this draft, we describe techniques that can achieve OSPF graceful restart even if a neighboring router does not support the helper-mode of {[}OSPF-GR{]}.},
